The circus-like atmosphere will soon surround the Warriors everywhere they turn.

Before the attention centers on Stephen Curry’s long distance heaves, Kevin Durant’s talent and villainous persona and Draymond Green’s versatility with his game and mouth, the focus will first start on Friday for Warriors’ media day at their practice facility.

There, the Warriors will pose for pictures, film endless promotional spots and answer countless questions. Below are the five most pressing ones the Warriors will have to answer throughout the 2017-18 season.

1. Are the Warriors unstoppable?

To the Warriors’ delight and to the frustration of their opponents, ESPN NBA analyst Jeff Van Gundy echoed the thoughts of many around the league surrounding Golden State’s chances of winning back-to-back championships. “The Warriors are gonna win forever if everything stays the same,” Van Gundy recently told Sirius XM.

For all the high profile moves the Rockets (Chris Paul), Oklahoma City (Paul George) and Boston (Gordon Hayward, Kyrie Irving), few around the league think it’s enough to address this reality. The Warriors resigned key pieces of their championship roster (Curry, Durant, Andre Iguodala).

That might not be enough for the Warriors to break their NBA-record 73-win season set in 2016-17. Then again, the Warriors have higher aspirations in winning their second title in three years. And barring an injury, it appears unlikely anyone can account for the Warriors’ top-ranked outside shooting, defense and depth.

2. How do the Warriors stay motivated?

Injuries aside, Golden State’s potentially biggest weakness could involve its own engagement level. After all, why get excited for a forgettable game in January when an intense NBA Finals game likely awaits in June?

That creates an interesting challenge Warriors coach Steve Kerr and his players will have to navigate. On one hand, the Warriors will want to pace themselves so they have enough energy and health to cross the finish line. On the other, Golden State will have to do so without compromising habits and momentum.

So while Kerr will likely find optimal times to reduce practice times and rest players, he also likely will find different challenges to keep his team motivated throughout the season.

3. Will the same pecking order exist among the stars?
For a team culture set on sharing the ball and diminishing the importance of individual achievements, the Warriors may not become concerned about this topic. For a league fixated on star power, however, this could become a theme as the Warriors expectedly dominate their opponents.

Will a definitive star emerge among Curry, Durant, Green, Klay Thompson and Andre Iguodala? Or will that play out on every possession as each player trades baskets?

Two years ago, Curry became the team’s definitive star as he won the NBA’s unanimous regular-season MVP as he made seemingly every shot from every angle. A healthy deference played out between Curry and Durant at the beginning of last season, before Curry became more aggressive to shoot and Durant became more aggressive to dominate in the Finals. So while the Warriors may not become consumed with their boxscores, it could become a healthy puzzle on how to keep their well-oiled engine running the smoothest.

4. Will the Warriors’ new arrivals help?

Golden State did not need to stockpile its roster full of stars. It already has them. They still improved this offseason by filling positional needs with secondary scoring (veterans Nick Young, Omri Casspi) and frontcourt depth (rookie Jordan Bell).

Young and Casspi will provide enough outside shooting that the Splash Brothers do not need to drench their opponents all the time. Bell could prove a nice insurance policy for whenever Green draws too many whistles. While Young will add another joyful personality to a joyful atmosphere, all three could keep things fresh and loose by playing well enough to give their more established teammates some rest.

5. What soap opera awaits?

The Warriors will spark enough attention with their play alone. It seems inevitable, though, they will remain in the conversation because of other things too.

Will past NBA legends continuously tout their superiority over the current Warriors in imaginary games? Will Durant continue to receive scorn for leaving the Oklahoma City Thunder? Will Green receive the scorn from opponents and officials alike? Will the league penalize the Warriors anytime Kerr rests his top guys? Will the Warriors officially decline any White House visit?

It seems likely all these storylines play out. The Warriors feature plenty of actors, though, that have thrived standing on center stage.
